[QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 576136, member: 14429"] Thanks for all the replies. I've replaced the fuel filters, they are all brand new. I didn't do the timing this was done by someone else. They set it up using a timing light, I don't know what it was set to. If I buy a timing light what should it be set to? It has a flamethrower 009 distributor. I've done a compression test, all four cylinders are 90. Is that good? I've had loads of problems with this engine since I've had it. The last problem was it wouldn't idle or rev right, the reason for that fault was because it was only firing on one side. strangely the fix was to swap the spark plugs from one side of the engine to the other. I have since renewed all the spark plugs. I know a few people that have owned air cooled campers in the past so I got them to drive it just to make sure it wasn't just me. Its not me as they all agree its rubbish, one said it was worse then his (his was a completely stock 1600) [/QUOTE]
